Fantastic show with a wealth of talented performers. The score is outstanding...I believe it was nominated for a Tony. Thank God, they made a cast CD.
I miss it a lot. Too bad it didn't get to run for a bit. It was definitely a show you could get hooked on and want to see over and over again.

Posted: 11/14/05 at 9:58amOh Taboo. Loved it then, love it now, will probably keep loving it. Such a great cast and such good music. I thank my lucky stars I got to see it. And that there's a cd. 'Petrified' is still one of my favorite songs. And yes, Chrys, we all loved the lemons!

Posted: 11/14/05 at 10:43amI also loved this show (which surprised me) and thought it was sad how it seemed Rosie's attachment is ultimately part of the reason it was killed so quickly. It probably would have done better without her attachment and playing in an off-Broadway theatre.

Posted: 11/14/05 at 11:30amI miss this show terribly! I am so thankful for having seen it, but sadly only once on closing night. It was great meeting Rosie she was a sweetheart. I am still hoping that her words will hold true This is not the end, this show will be back...
